Heavenly Father, the love and care expressed to us through Jesus our Lord compels us to express similar love and care to others in need. All who walk in Your ways must go through many hardships, but the blow that comes from such hardships is cushioned and the duration of pain is lessened by those who lovingly reach out to us in tender loving care, as they help bear our burden. Their heartfelt prayers, loving words and kind expressions remind us that You have not forgotten us nor forsaken us. Your loving Spirit descends to us through human endeavors directed toward our need, lifting us from the neighboring pits of despair and discouragement. In Jesus’ name we press on toward the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Let me offer another perspective - after Linda suffered her first stroke, and I was having to devise therapy methods for her, WALKING her through the house several times a day - and researching supplements to help - I ASKED God to GIVE me some of her suffering. And I was immediately racked with pain that settled in my right hip. After Linda's death nearly 3 years later, my surgeon, seeing the x-rays, came back with a shocked look on his face. He said "You don't even HAVE a joint! I don't know how you are walking!" and he added "I know of no mechanism that could have caused this damage!" I TOLD him what the mechanism was! Months later I had the surgery and my helper said my surgeon came out laughing, saying it was the worst joint he had ever seen - and his speciality is the most difficult cases.

Yes, brother, I find it difficult to understand that EVERY believer would not realize they are CALLED to Christ Jesus, our Lord, FOR SERVICE FOR all the rest of their EXISTENCE! We WERE "BOUGHT with a price". We HAVE BEEN PURCHASED!! Our 'independence mindset' is part of the rebellion against God!
